Woman finds a 4ft snake in her toilet

A mother-of-two has told of her terror after a 4ft-long snake slid out of her toilet.

Jane Finnigan, 32, was taking a cup of tea to her partner Daniel Daltry at 7.45am when the grey rat snake slid out of her bathroom and across the landing. The snake is not poisonous but will bite if aggravated.

The reptile reared up on its tail and Daniel, 28, threw a blanket over it and whacked it with a bat.



He then raced next door to inform their neighbour, the owner of the runaway snake, who apologised and collected his pet.

Jane, from Cambridgeshire, said: "I was absolutely terrified. I came up the stairs and there was a huge snake looking right at me. I froze and just started screaming."

She added: "I am scared to go to the toilet now. I really don't like snakes at all."
